The crew never selected TOGA
I don't fly Airbus but I do know that until you enter a "detent" the throttles work like any jet. Push them forward and they give you more thrust.

So how do you know the crew didn't slowly move the thrust levers forward to see what happened? They don't need to go all the way to TOGA, in fact that sudden burst of fuel as TOGA was selected could have made the stall worse.

I know that in my 777 I'm not going to push TOGA to try and get the engines running again after an event like this. Easy does it until the engine stabilizes. ( if it ever will )
